And of course amazing at his job. I saw him and Elton in concert in Glasgow, must have been circa 1979/80 or maybe just a wee bit later. They were on tour together as a two piece and Ray was brilliant, mad as a hatter. Edit just checked and it was 1979. I still have the ticket stub.

My best was probably Stones in Chicago 4 years ago for a chicken burger and a bottle of coke. Last minute brinkmanship is the most effective method. You have to be able to attend at short notice. I do hope Elton changes his mind. He’s such a showman and hopefully won’t be able to resist it if a promoter comes up with the right deal.

Sone of the reports of their "live" performances are eye-opening. There is that. It's not as if he needs the money. Though he performed extremely well he seemed a bit stiff and immobile when he had to get up and walk anywhere. I didn't watch Guns & Roses' set but I've heard Axel's voice has been shot for a long time. John Bongiovi likewise. Paul McCartney who was in the celebs'section of the crowd tonight has not played a single show since he headlined Glastonbury a year ago so my guess is he's chucked it. His voice has been fading for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That there, sums up this years Glastonbury. Ok so I’ve got two young daughters but I went to a Lizzo show the other month and she’s a proper performer. Big 70s funk type influences. I expected to be underwhelmed but wasn’t. 11 hours ago, Malinga the Swinga said: I class Elton with Meatloaf, Alice Cooper and Springsteen. Not in styles but in they don't do concerts, they do shows. Born entertainers who have tuned their acts over decades and, as with Meatloaf, will entertain till their dying day. Got the Boss at Hyde Park in a couple of weeks. Last time he’d be on for 3 1/2 hours and just as he was jamming with Macca to close the show they turned the sound off dead on 10:30. Half way through a song. 🤦🏻♂️ Thants one thing with him - done expect him ever to start after 8pm. Also the Cuban Bros on a side stage. I know he’s a hibby but funny as ****.

A proper legend of music, 7 decades of songs, just amazing!!! I think it shows the state of the global music industry, or perhaps this events lack of sponsorship, when all 3 headline acts are from an era long gone. At the end of long careers struggling to hold on to the last vestiges of relevance Having said that, you don’t get the Glastonbury experience watching it on TV. It’s simply not the same as being there. I dare say the live crowd were wowed and captivated by Elton last night and for a couple of hours live TV it was okay and miles better than the other 2 headliners IMO but put Elton in any other stadium gig and show it at 9pm on a Sunday night and no one really cares anymore. If there’s a decent Serial drama on at the same time I’m watching that instead. I’ve been to Glastonbury once. 2011 when the headliners were Coldplay U2 and Beyonce. All relevant up to date acts (u2 at the end of their run) . Compare that with Monkeys GnR and Elton, all 15-20 years past their sell by date and I’d have been very disappointed to have paid £350 a pop. if I’d been there I’d have skipped Elton for sure. Having said that, Glastonbury is more about wandering about stumbling into new stuff (not always music) with a loose plan to see some stuff you can’t miss. In fact the pyramid stage at night is generally a nightmare and unless you stand there all day and get frontwards you can’t see a thing for all the flags (even the screens get blocked) I’m also not sure the BBC covered it that well this year. Perhaps it’s just got too big to do it justice and the iPlayer catch ups in the next couple of weeks will give a better sense of what was good and what wasn’t. We’re planning to go back in the next 2 years. Hopefully the tried and tested (and failed this year IMO) headliner format gets a bit of a revamp.
